Chapter 51We are together in the dining room. It’s quiet, but everyone is weary and exhausted after this morning’s ordeal. Everyone has been watching me like a hawk throughout the day. Beth serves us dinner, and my Dad gives me a look after I have been pushing my food around for a while with my fork. I begin to eat my food, and he nods. I manage to eat over half my meal. It’s the most I’ve been able to eat for a long time. I place my fork down and stare at my wrists as I caress my thumbs over the scars. Theo sitting next to me, frowns at the scars but doesn’t say anything.With everyone now finished dinner, I stand. ‘I’m very tired, and you probably are all tired too. I’m going to go to bed,’ I say, leaving the hall. As I enter my room, Amara rushes in behind me.‘Amara?’‘Lylah,’ she says, rubbing her arm nervously. ‘It would give me peace of mind if you would allow me to sleep in your room with you tonight?’‘Amara,’ I sigh, ‘I’m not going to… you know,’ I say, unable to finish the

It’s been over nine months since I have gone to the area in the woods where Micah and I would train. Nine months since the flame in my heart went out. Nine months since I lost my true love and fated mate. It hasn’t gotten easier. It’s only become harder living another day without him. My heart has never stopped aching; each day, the pain I feel only worsens. Kayla told me the mate bond could become physically painful for some when your mate dies. She has been giving me potions to help the pain, but in the last couple of months, they haven’t worked as well as they usually would. I tend to keep away from everyone and find somewhere quiet until the pain passes, as I don’t want them to worry more than they already do. It can sometimes last a couple of hours. I have to bite down on a stick I wrap with material to suppress any screams or cries. My heart is so broken that I realise that not even magic or potions could ever fix me. Heading to the training field, I notice a she-wolf racing tow

Trees, mountains, and rivers fly by us from the intense speed the vampires run. They are so fast that I cannot even fight, argue or speak for Lord Talon to put me down. Finally, after an hour they come to a stop in an open field with low grass. There are some trees and mountains in the distance. I can hear water flowing nearby. I give the darkest glare to Lord Talon as he gently puts me down. He doesn’t respond. I’m relieved our bodies are no longer in contact, stopping the sparks between us. ‘We can’t risk the girl seeing the entrance to our lair. You’re going to have to blindfold her. We also need to feed,’ Soren tells Lord Talon. They all stare at me silently. ‘Don’t you dare even think about it! I refuse to be your meal!’ I yell at them. Soren and Nadia give Lord Talon a sympathetic look. ‘It’s fine,’ Lord Talon says to them. ‘I’ll go find a deer. In the meantime, you two feed and watch the girl while I’m gone,’ ‘It’s Lylah! Not girl!’ I huff. Lord Talon smiles but I scowl ma

Lord Talon POVThe moment Soren, Nadia and I arrived at Blue Scale Rock. We could see the werewolves and Lycans were already there. My feet begin to move on their own, and the sweetest scent comes over me. Sweat begins to form across my forehead as I try to stop myself from walking any closer to the pack.‘Lord Talon, is everything okay? You don’t look so good,’ Soren says.‘I’m not sure. I feel strange,’ I tell Soren.‘Stay here, Lord Talon. We will conduct the meeting, and you can join us when you can,’ Nadia says. I nod and gesture for them to go as I fight myself to keep still. What is wrong with me?I listen to the meeting, but the scent comes closer and becomes more alluring. Against my will, I walk toward everyone. Beads of sweat drip from my forehead, and I suddenly realise what has happened. I’ve found my long-awaited blood flame. My fated mate that I’ve desperately waited over two hundred years for. I shake my head, ‘No, it can’t be,’ I say.‘Lord Talon?’ Soren says, confuse

Soren and Nadia have finally crossed the river. Their eyes remain black, and they run towards Lylah with their fangs protruding, ready to devour her. They should only be blood lusting for each other as they are blood flames, but Lylah’s blood isn’t like everyone else’s. Her blood is special, and she is unlike anyone I have ever met. I’m annoyed and hurt. Lylah keeps trying to kill me and fighting the bond, and now her blood is making other vampires blood lust after her, ‘Great, just great!’ I say, throwing my hands up in the air, ‘You cut my arm. I save your life. You cut me again, and now I have to save your life again, but this time from Nadia and Soren draining you of your blood because, for some strange reason, your blood tastes and wreaks of immense power. So which part of me will you try and cut off after I save you this time?’ I ask sarcastically and cross my arms.She smiles at me for the first time but looks down at my balls. My body stiffens, and I pail. She wouldn’t dare,
